"Danielle drinks only tee, has two kids and the marriage is not really happy........ People would be directed to relevant produce."

What's the relevant produce for an unhappy marriage? Whiskey?

I'd actually talk to a few people before I'd say "everyone benefited" because many didn't and absolutely hate it. I've seen people rearrange their schedule and go way out of the way just so they can run an errand in peace and with some privacy and dignity. Myself? I know I've avoided places specifically because I'd be likely to see someone I know there.

Having a conversation once in a while with the person selling you cheese (which is choice!!) isn't the same thing as being tracked.

Not everyone wants personalized recommendations either. Or recommendations at all, most people know what they want and are creatures of habit.

I don't want recommendations at all from anyone who is selling me something! The incentives are misaligned to say the least. What if you found out the cheese salesman got commission from certain brands? You'd think she'd suddenly recommend them?
